Hey Yall,
Well, we´ve got heat waves, rain storms and whatever else you can think of in the weather this week...well, not really, but we did have a very tempermental weather scheme this week. It was burning hot the first couple of days, followed soon by a rainstorm bigger than anything I´ve ever seen in Utah. It was a good week.
I´ll tell you all something about my old testament studies. In Leviticus, at least what I´ve read so far(About 12 chapters), it´s pretty repetitive. I´ll give you a little time saving advice...read leviticus if you want to know which animal to sacrifice in every case of sacrifice or what do with your child if they are born with leprosy. There´s not a whole lot in Leviticus other than that. Although, something interesting is that it doesn´t matter how much people had back in those days, everyone gave something to help build the tabernacle and/or give sacrifices unto God. Good lesson, right?
We had a seemingly frightening but which turned out to be very enlightening experience this week. The Assistants to the President called us up on Wednesday and asked us if we had plans for the afternoon. Elder Olsen and Elder Perron ended up coming to Curacautin to work with Elder Thomas and myself. Elder Perron is our Zone Leader from Victoria, but I worked the whole day on Wednesday with Elder Olsen, an Assistant to the Mission President. I was scared out of my mind to be working with someone so high up, but it turned out well because he was here in Curacautin about a year and a half ago, so he knew most of the people we went to visit and he showed me a lot of other people to go visit that we didn´t know existed. It was a great learning experience, as Intercambios should be. :) Elder Thomas worked with Elder Perron, one of his previous companions...he didn´t have such a good time, however...
We had a miracle this week with an inactive member. Her name is Rosa and we went to visit her on Saturday. She´s been inactive about 10 years because of what some members did to her while she was there in the church. However, when we showed up at her door, she let us in and we talked a while with her about how much God Loves us. The next day she showed up for Church all dressed up nice and when she shared her testimony, she said, "Christ showed up at my door yesterday" It was a really neat experience to see her there and feeling so happy. :)
Funny part of the week: I didn´t know it happened so much, but apparently it does. People do rip their pants. I don´t know how many times I´ve seen it with Missionaries: Elder Leiva, Elder Thomas, Elder Earl, etc. They have all ripped their pants open and it´s hilarious when it happens. Not to mention, none of them were doing the same thing when it happened. I think it´s so funny because it´s something you always see in movies to get a comic laugh...however, it appears to happen all the time in real life, too. Be careful what you do when you sit down.
That´s about it for this week. Remember to eat healthy and read every day!
